I will be in house overclocking Intelís latest and greatest processors using Liquid Nitrogen. Some of you may know me around here, some may not. I have been ranked in the top 10 in the world on HWBot.org, and currently fighting to keep the top Canadian overclocker spot on the Bot. I will be overclocking the latest Intel 2600K & 980X flagship processors, ASUS Maximus IV Extreme & Rampage III Extreme motherboards, an ASUS GTX580, and Corsair Dominator GTX2 memory.

There is a little bit of geek in all of us, and what is more geeky than overclocking a computer with liquid nitrogen? I will be happily answering any and all questions related to overclocking while benchmarking some of the latest hardware on the market; as well, everyone will get a chance to pour some LN2.

There will be snacks, drinks, contests, Beer Infuser demonstrations, and a host of other things to do and see. Prizes and swag have been arranged from Canadaís premier hardware review and news site Hardware Canucks.com including a Gigabyte P55A-UD6, a Corsair Vengeance 8GB kit (sponsored by Corsair), and an ASUS HD 5770 CuCore. So come out, learn a little bit about the world of extreme overclocking, have some fun, and take home some great prizes!

If you plan on joining us, please sign up at Eventbright.com here so we can get an idea on how many people are going to make it out. Feel free to ask any questions or discuss the event here.

Depending on space, how many people are going to show up, and hardware involved, I may have a spot or two for others to bench their rigs. If anyone that is going to be in London on Thursday the 27th wants to bench a rig with LN2...now is your chance.

Fire me a PM with details on the rig you want to bench, your cooling equipment (if you don't have pots, that is okay, I have extra's to share), and any other pertinent information

It should be a pretty damn good night, and I will be benching as long as there is LN2. If that means well into Friday...then it means well into Friday

Bah - I wish I could geek out with you guys. Like Knives Chau, I have the capacity to geek. Won't be able to make this one though - next time! I really want to learn proper insulation techniques. My first and only attempt at eraser insulating went... well, poorly. Thankfully it was just an old P5B that I destroyed.

Damn, wrong side of Canada for me! Sounds like it will be interesting & entertaining. Good luck!

Thanks, it should be a blast.

Anytime you find yourself in the London area, don't hesitate to fire me a message. You can always swing by and we can do some insulating

Bahhh, I wanted it to be a week later to promote better, but this date worked for the UnLab and my schedule. There will be other events, and I will be doing OC'ing classes starting in the spring at the UnLab.

That would have been great. I am still looking to secure someone to shoot some video.

Biggest downfall I see holding me from going (assuming Schedule is okay) is the drive from London back to Oshawa after this is over, which really means hotel for the night.

Hmmmm, if you are willing to drive that far, I can't not offer a spot on a couch. It isn't lavish accommodations, and it is kind of cool in my place, but you are more than welcome. I will also likely be benching all night at the UnLab, and there are couches there to nap on should the benching go well into the night.
